Shedding isn't real. It was made up. Its fiction. Anything that depends on shedding is by definition false.
A person infected with a respiratory virus sheds virus particles from their nose and mouth.
Viral shedding can occur following vaccination
Vaccines dont have a live virus however so this cannot occur.

Vaccinated people can be infected and shed live virus.

Ok, I tried my best to answer everyone's questions so i will say this.
Variants of any virus will occur the larger the population it has access to that has no immunity. Want to prevent variants get vaccinated it helps. If you choose not to its your choice

Well, the answer to that is variants take time to spread they are not everywhere in the world at once. For example, the Greek variant has yet to be found in the US or Canada. That doesn't mean they won't or that it doesn't exist.

Either you're somehow extremely badly mistaken, or being obtuse.
Greek Bugs.
As in, Delta, Beta, etc. Unless you're suggesting it's never been on Canuckian or Yankee soil here. In which case, you have the entire website's attention, start dishin'.

There is no link between covid vaccines and variants.
The most serious variants are from the UK, India and peru.
The UK variant emerged while the vax was still being trialed, and in a totally different part of the country. The India and Peruvian versions emerged in countries with critically low vaccine rates.
In contrast high vax countries like Israel have not seen their own variants.
In the US the areas with the highest vax rates also have the lowest variant rates.

I would say it is more amount of spread as in if a place has massive spread then you see variants, in a place with low spread you do not. No variants have come from America and we are the third largest population.

None of this is how a virus works
A virus is not even considered alive it can not mutate as a reaction to its environment like bacteria can viruses just replicate and mutations happen
The vaccine has nothing to do with this prosess and can not create more mutations it can slow down mutations bye reducing replication the only way it could increase this is to attack your immune system
the high mutation rate is due to its novel status even with everyone having antibodies we will most likely have seasonal covid untell we develop a new tech to kill viruses like nano bots that don't rely on biological factors

There will be variants that have come about in the US as they happen all the time.
I'd imagine that so far none of them have been a mutation that made the virus worse to the point it became a "varient of interest" as they so politely like to call them.

Yes it can though saliva is usually not a good method of transport to others as saliva for example has natural enzymes which will kill the virus. Mucus on the other hand is great at storing a virus because of the nasal cavities which can cause it to leak into your lungs spreading the virus. Vaccines dont have a live virus however so this cannot occur.
